An online debate has been sparked by an angry mother’s reaction to being told she was not allowed to take her son to a wedding, 7News reports.
The argument began when a couple sent out invitations to their upcoming marriage with a request: “With respect, we would like our special day to be an adults only occasion.”
The bride-to-be was taken aback when one RSVP returned covered in scribbles which read: “Where is the respect when [name blurred] is part of the family!!!
“He is my family! That’s not respect!!”
The bride took to a ‘wedding shaming’ Facebook group to share her dismay at the guest’s response.
The vast majority of forum members slammed the mother’s reaction.
The issue prompted a televised discussion about ‘child-free’ weddings and whether it’s socially acceptable to arrange an adults only event.
